    "Robohub is an online platform that brings together leading communicators in robotics research, start-ups, business, and education from around the world." What is nice about robohub is that they generally give a look behind the scenes of interesting robotic studies.

    This is currently a very trendy subject in navigation, indeed. In your case, how exactly do you resolve the ambiguity? why only one 2D marker? what would be the conclusion exactly?

    I would well imagine a team at an other space institution, with their own diigo, commenting on that news ... ;p Interesting trend nonetheless. At the NASA Space Apps Challenge, few teams proposed a similar G&C application but for the rover Curiosity... this is certainly a good approach for citizen science.

    Not explicit but smells like RTGs
  • dejanpetkow on 03 Apr 12
     
    "The effort contrasted and compared eight heat sources technologies, three power conversion, two dual cycle propulsion system configurations, and a single electrical power generation scheme." Yes, it's about RTGs, at least partially.
  • Ma Ru on 03 Apr 12
     
    The quote "it was disappointing to all that the political realities would not allow use of the results" may refer to RTGs too :-)

    Joggobot turns a quadrocopter into a running companion Researchers from RMIT in Melbourne, Australia have developed a flying running companion called Joggobot. The system uses the built-in camera on a commercially-available Parrot AR Drone quadrocopter to track the position of a jogger, and fly a few feet out in front.

    In a jaw-dropping feat of engineering, electronics turn a person's thoughts into commands for a drone. Using a brain-computer interface technology pioneered by University of Minnesota biomedical engineering professor Bin He, several young people have learned to use their thoughts to steer a flying robot around a gym, making it turn, rise, dip, and even sail through a ring.

    Nice one, very impressive (also filming it with a drone :)! I noticed at 0:56 that the exhaust flames do travel upwards on the descent. I wonder how much of a problem this would be for the actual reusability / next flight approval?
